Visual Studio 2013 Coded UI Test

Question

I am currently looking into UI testing with alternatives for Selenium, recently i made the switch to VS2013 from VS2012 and the first thing i notice is that, the Coded UI Test project template is missing.

Anyone has a clue why this is missing and / or i need to install something in addition or if some workaround exists to make it available again?

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and Premium Editions have CodedUI test. See here for all the supported configuration details:

I am not sure if you can add it to Professional(I see no downloads listed for CUIT)

Answer 2

As Aniket mentioned, Coded UI is only available for the Ultimate and Premuim editions. There is also a Test pro edition that has a limited number of Testing tools. Some of them can be used to initially describe your tests and the later automate them with Coded UI.

The following links provides a feature comparison between the editions. Go to the Testing tools section, which specifies the availability of Coded UI in the specific editions:
